WATCH: Four-Rotor Mazda RX-7 Faces 850-HP Jeep Trackhawk In A Drag Race

In the latest Hoonigan installment of This vs That, Rob Dahm's incredible four-rotor Mazda RX-7 that produces between 1,000 - 1,300 horsepower goes up against an 850-hp Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. While this sounds like a rather odd match, the drag race makes for thrilling viewing.

But before we get into the race, let's look at what these vehicles pack under the hood. The '93 RX-7 sends its mighty power to all four wheels. Naturally, it's turbocharged, but this isn't your average RX-7. Dahm has taken years to complete his project and sports components from various unlikely donors. The water pump, for example, is from a BMW X6, while the fan shroud has been lifted off a Corvette C7 Z06.

In comparison, the Jeep looks more demure. The 6.2-liter supercharged V8 makes 850 horses when running on E85 fuel.

To put that power on the road, owner Jonathan has fitted Toyo Proxes 888 tires, Eibach lowering springs, and aftermarket wheels. Amazingly, it's his daily driver and serves as a family wagon when it's not hitting the drag strip.

So, which car will take home the victory? Most of the Hoonigan team thinks the Jeep has it in the bag, but that remains to be seen. Both vehicles set off at neck-breaking speeds, the whining rotary motor fighting the roaring V8 for dominance. The Jeep appears to hold its own at first, gripping the surface with tenacity and holding on to the Mazda's rear.

However, as the RX-7 gets into its stride, the Trackhawk stands no chance, and the custom Japanese sports car leaves it for dead in the first 1,000-foot race. The Jeep still has a chance to reclaim its honor, though, with the second race running over a distance of 500 ft.
